All pearls and diamonds are present and well matched. The enamel remains intact with no loss. The piece shows light wear and minor softening to the hallmarks. The pin is slightly warped but remains functional, and the item is offered in good condition.


This refined brooch exemplifies the restrained elegance and technical precision associated with the house of Fabergé during the late Imperial period.



The restrained use of materials is characteristic of Fabergé’s smaller luxury objects, in which design economy and technical perfection were prioritised over ostentation. Rather than relying on large gemstones, the firm cultivated an aesthetic of refinement through proportion, texture, and subtle contrast. Such jewels were intended for an elite clientele who valued connoisseurship and craftsmanship above display.



Its survival in its original fitted red leather box from Hancocks & Co indicates early movement through prominent London retail channels.
